Reviews over the
Castelli Competizione 2
4 / 5
Great cycling shorts, value for money.
After several black trousers from Castelli in XL with the more expensive chamois, I wanted to try an L as the XL is tight yet comfortable but sometimes gives me some chafing. The competitione has the same race-fit as the top models but with the kiss-air chamois. I took the gamble and this time in grey. When putting it on, it feels very tight, but during a 4.5-hour ride, it didn't bother me. And no chafing. Mantel's size recommendation is correct as far as I am concerned. So trouser size 32 is size L of Castelli. You have to like race-fit. The chamois seems fine but I can only really judge that after several rides.
